Overview

Echocardiography or Ultrasound

  • In patients with Takayasu arteritis, duplex ultrasound can monitor disease progression and the effects of therapy.
  • Doppler ultrasound is a useful non-invasive procedure for the assessment of vessel wall inflammation in patients with Takayasu's arteritis.[2]
  • Ultrasonography is limited by operator-dependent artefacts from overlying structures and bowel gas. This limitation prevents this modality from being the ideal method in the serial evaluation of patients with TA.[3]
